10. 1769 Cugnot Steam Drag Of course, the original has to be on the list. Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot’s Steam Drag was designed to haul heavy artillery and cannonballs and that sort of thing, but it was absolutely also an automobile. It was also a barely-controllable (FWD, even) vehicle, and introduced the world to terminal understeer and […]

The USAF has launched a campaign to enter the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) market, setting a goal to have 30 flying cars in the service by 2030 as part of its Agility Prime initiative. This is an effort to accelerate support for the fledgling new aviation market, in the hope that it does not […]

Plenty of boring cars are given second lives as thrill-seeking machines when modified by the right people, and minivans are no exception! There’s not a whole lot to love about Minivans. Designed with the purpose of hauling as many people in a compact platform, and not a whole lot else, minivans are as boring as […]

https://www.autoweek.com/news/trucks/g32169136/20-suvs-best-tow-ratings-ranked Towing and hauling. It’s what pickup trucks are for. But SUVs, and sometimes crossovers, can literally pull their own weight, too. There’s a whole slew of vehicles that didn’t make this list, many of them coming in the 5,000-pound towing range. Our list starts at 7,275 pounds and goes up from there. If you’re […]

Utah’s largest selection of new and used cars. The following cars are not head-turners. No one has ever snapped selfies for the ‘gram next to a parked Toyota Previa. No wealthy businessman has ever (successfully) tried to woo a lady with his PT Cruiser. But, behind their bland appearance, these cars actually offer a lot […]

Elon is not one for flourish and pomp. This was pretty impressive that he was actually driving one of these trucks. It would be so cool to be in his shoes for 1 day.

It’s not an easy job, and the new Corvette makes it even harder.  The vast majority of Motor1.com articles adopt the collective we voice, but I’m going to take particular ownership of this one. Shipping cars 10 or more at a time on a truck isn’t easy; I know because my father did it, […]

You won’t find a worse, more ill-fated, poorly conceived, poorly executed, illogical, and above all, costly marketing campaign. The promotion will sound like fiction — that’s how bad it was. This is the short version: Insert The Hoover Company. They sell household appliances, including washers, dryers, and vacuums. Through the 1960s and 1970s, they were […]

Which RV is right for you? Is it an SUV with a rooftop tent or a 40-foot-long motorhome? This guide to truck campers and motorhomes will help you decide. After this pandemic, the drive to escape in the great outdoors will be stronger than ever. Let’s dive into a few of the options we have for […]

Camping out of a trailer has long been a delightful way to enjoy the life outdoors without ditching all the comforts of home, but doing so comes at a cost. Trailers, after all, are usually giant chunks of metal, fiberglass and plastic, weighing in at thousands of pounds. Moving them about, in turn, requires a vehicle capable […]

There are sites that allow people who are not licensed or insured to ship. Don’t fall prey to those sites. You get what you paid for.

We once had an animated discussion with a group of friends about the one defining feature in one’s taste in cars. At the time, the answers ranged from a certain way of engine orientation or placement, to the drive type, or perhaps pop-up headlights, but the question kept bothering me until recently. I was sound […]

The Bugatti family is steadily growing with a raft of new Chiron-based models and soon, an all-new second model tipped to take the form of an SUV. In all likelihood, the expansion of the Bugatti range will stop there but if in an alternate universe the French marque were to take a leaf out of […]
